The difference here is that the slogans you listed are usually euphemisms for something more insidious. Anti-work and defund the police are the exact opposite—deliberately inflammatory slogans that exaggerate (if not…
> Physics isn't used as a catch-all to explain things that haven't been researched. Has systemic racism not been researched? I feel like you're just grasping at semantic straws here. Systemic racism is a theory, like…
Physics is also a purposefully nebulous term used to capture and group a collection of specific issues that can be measured. God forbid people want to group together racial disparities caused by institutional practices…
See, this just comes off as reactionary, as if saying "I believe in systemic racism" somehow secretly casts a vote for progressive policies behind your back. Is it really so hard to say "I believe that our institutions…
> No one has put forth the argument that Sowell believes systematic racism cannot ever exist. The comment I was responding to literally said "It is immeasurable, undefinable, unchangeable. As a propagandist you must…
Of course, patriarch theory completely accounts for this. The common view that men are more powerful and autonomous, and therefore dangerous, can probably account for some degree of their harsher treatment under the…
I was honestly unaware of the difference. Upon looking up the term on Wikipedia, the first line is "Institutional racism (also known as systemic racism)." Every subsequent article I looked at under the google search…
If it were immeasurable and undefinable, then we wouldn't have studies showing disproportionate sentencing of Black people [1] or the persistent negative effects of redlining [2]. And if it were unchangeable, we…
The argument is that the electorate can't vote on policy unless they can see those policies in action. Voters can rest on the dogmatic idea that private markets solve everything without ever having to experience the…
I can't seem to find any data which suggests that Liberal Arts majors are significantly more likely to fall for climate change denial or the anti-vax movement. I find that most studies correlate political leaning with…
Form _is_ function in a visual medium. If I can't easily parse the information in front of me, then the content is useless; my eyes will just glaze over. That's why we have design in the first place. I can't stand…
They probably don't; I doubt many designers are thinking "wow, I really want to inundate my user with pop-ups," it's more that analysts have likely got numbers showing that having x calls to action yields y% more…
Compared to what? Yes, we can rest on the technicality that science is only an ever-expanding and ever-solidifying theory, but can't–by fallibility of perception–ever reach perfect truth. So what though. What else do we…
How do you expect those independent experts to be chosen? Even then, how do expect these experts to "objectively address" the issue? I don't agree with partisan politics, but the solution isn't demanding independent,…
The argument is two-pronged (probably more, but let's restrict it to two): firstly, yes, that diversity can improve gains, but secondly that the current skewed proportions were created by both active and passive…
I fail to see how industry problems ripe for technical solutions equate to cash grabs. Problems are essentially the basis of every startup (if we generalize a little), and I can assure you that engineers can be…
You say that like anyone can just up and go back to university or simply create their own service (presumably some new, inventive one because the one they just had is already nearly perfected by machines). Neither of…
